It's funky shape doesn't necessarily mean more ergo, plus even more dependent on the individual's hands.
For example the thumb cluster just doesn't work, it stretches out your thumb Ina weird angle. And your palm will get sore quickly. Look at some photos of people using funky shaped keyboards, and the hands just don't look relaxed.
I honestly find the spacebar on a normal keyboard quite ergonomic despite it doesn't look like it. Reason is it's most natural to have your thumb curled. The ergodox will force your hand to be stretched out.
And the small space bar + it's weird orientation means that you'll have to rest your wrist on something in order have it pressed accurately. If you move your hands a lot on a normal keyboard, it might actually be healthier for your wrist, as wrists rest blocks blood flow.
But if you have large hands I guess it's ok. I find ergonomics keyboard gimmicky, even for keyboards like the Maltron/ kinesis despite their ultimate funkiness having a bowl shape. If it's ergonomic it should be efficient to use, meaning it should be speeding up your typing and with less effort. I find them always slows people down instead.
Normal tenkeyless is pretty ergo to me, its the combination of efficient and relaxed hand and finger movements that gives me the ergonomics. Ridiculous changes in appearance of the hardware doesn't do me any good.
